Tips for the slightly older beginner

I'm 24 years old and I bought a skateboard last week for the first time in about a decade. My ollies were rusty as fuck but I've managed to go from landing none at all to landing maybe 1 in 10 attempts at an ollie. My balance also really sucked at first and I fell down hard in the first 2 minutes of getting on the board and really hurt my hip, but after about a week or so it feels better now.
My question is; what is a good route of progression for a new skater? I'm going to continue practising my ollies and spending some time going back and forth in the quarter pipe to help my balance, but where do I go from here? When I skated as a kid I could never do more than an ollie, so I'm not sure where to go next.
Do I try and practice a board slide, or maybe try and practice some of the easier and more simple flip tricks? (And which tricks would that be?)
